This is bloody annoyin, read this and be annoyed lol?

joe, flo and moe all get the same meal. in total it costs thirty pounds, so they each pay ten pounds. when the manager sees the bill he realises that the customers have been overcharged by five pounds. he sends the waiter over to return the five pounds but he takes two pounds of it and returns three pounds to the customers. in total they have now payed nine pounds each.
now 3x9=27 + £2 that the waiter took = £29 where is the extra pound to make thirty??

Answers:
You don't need to make £30, the meal cost £25 and the waiter took £2, so they paid £27 which is £9 each.
this is bloody annoyin haha
Not annoyin at all.Its jus maths n the fun of it.
i have no idea
your right it is bloody annoying.. lol
but, if they have been overcharged by five pounds, why does the waiter return only 3?!
Nope, it's gone in fractions and logic somewhere along the line.
its fifteen
Yeah it is annoying, but only because so many people have posted the same f*cking question.

You're making my head hurt
The equation is not relevant to what actually happened.

30/3=10
30 - 5 = 25
25 + 3 + 2 = 30

Easy - they all give 10

10 +
10 +
10 = 30

3 are given back which means they have paid 27 between them 1.666666 is the bum crack and everyones happy.

It's all about the thing and the thing.
The waiter only took 2 pounds the real bill being 25 pounds

So the three customers have payed 9 1/3 pounds each 'cause they payed 8 1/3 pounds each to make the real bill of 25 pounds.
meal cost £25 + £2 tip = £27 + £3 change = £30

There's got to be a logical answer I just can't see it.
A pays 10
B pays 10
C pay 10

Each get back 1

A, B, & C now paid 9 each.

That's a total of 27.

Deduct (DO NOT ADD) the 2 that the waiter keeps, leaves 25.

The waiter has 2, and A, B, C have 1 each (3 in total).

25 + 2 + 3 = 30.
